Bistrot L'Aubergine Restaurant Review

Infamous burgers in one of the prettiest villages around

featured in Restaurant reviews Author Robin Deering, Provence Editor Updated

Tucked away behind the busy bustling Cafe de la Place in Eygalières, which is the best place to grab a post stroll refresher, is the Bistrot L'Aubergine.

With its secluded terrace you could almost forget you are in one of the prettiest villages in the Alpilles but its a perfect shaded haven to enjoy a heavenly meal.

The word on the street is that the burgers here trump some of the best State side concoctions. So despite the temptation of the lobster and mandarin salad or the truffle risotto, the choice was made and the Royal Burger was ordered. Waiting in eager anticipation didn't last long, the joys of eating early a la English.

The Burger Royal came with a foot long skewer in it to keep the layered feast from toppling over. The burger sauce doused the burger from the top down, ensuring the bread could soak up the rich flavour of the sauce.
Not in a hurry the burger was slowly felled with a few masterful strokes of cutlery under the cool shade of the terrace. Fortunately I managed to note down the ingredients, from the top this includes:

  • Brioche like burger bun
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Roquette & Mesclun salad
  • Coeur de Boeuf tomatoes
  • Red onion
  • Red pepper tapenade
  • Melted cheese
  • Oven roasted aubergines & courgettes
  • Steak with a creme a la Mustard

 However I doubt I could reproduce a burger as good as this one...

Dessert skipped my mains could keep my going all day, or until the next glace maison stand gets stumbled upon..
